Hi Folks,

I have a pair of these arm-/ easy chairs. They are teak and Danish. Could maybe someone help me with manufacturer or a designer?

That is an Arne Wahl Iversen produced by Stilén (Aage Petersen).

@leif-ericson

are you 100% sure about this attribution? Aage Petersen or Stilén has never been a member of DFMC and we can clearly see that stamp on pic #3...

Yes I was wondering about that.  The ArneWahlIversen Instagram account claims this.  I will ask about it. The documentation on the Danish Furnituremakers’ Control membership is from the early 1960s, so perhaps this is from the late 1960s??

On top of the list you are referring to, I do have an historical list of with all DFMC members over time. I can confirm they are not there neither.

Many thanks for the info. Checked some Iversen sofas in the internet. Something is nagging me that my version is slightly different. E.g. the wings have more the triangle shape. 
Maybe I will provide some further photos without the cushions.

Ok, now I did find also some with the triangle wings. Must be Iversen. 🙂
Many thanks again.

@DrPoulet a complete list of DFC members is a special resource!  Wow!  Then either Stilén / Aage Petersen did not make the chair or perhaps everything I said is wrong including that it is an Arne Wahl Iversen. One thing I am really not sure about is what sort of entity Stilén was and perhaps it sold pieces custom made by a DFC member, which seems very strange and unlikely....

@leif-ericson. Yes it is a great ressource but I am missing dates of membership. It is basically a long list of company names. I would share it with pleasure but I have signed a paper stating that I won’t. 

I have started a small project on IG to list all danish modern makers mark to make ID easier for people. So I am interested in that Aage Pedersen / Stilén. I could not find much, the company is listed in a few official documents and apparently appeared in one mobilia issue in 1959. A few designs are listed in the furniture index (by Iversen but also Wikkelsø). Google researches are not easy as it seems the owner of Getama was also someone called Aage Pedersen... Maybe the company existed for a short time only and the design rights were sold to another furniture maker, member of the DFMC... I’ll let you know if I manage to find something

Design rights would have stayed with Wahl Iversen because that was how that worked in Denmark then, but he could have asked another company to produce the chair...
